DAUB Brushes is a downloadable digital brush library for illustrators, painters, comic artists, and other digital creators. Its collections recreate natural-media approaches including watercolor, pigment, ink, pencil, marker, dry media, oil, acrylic, and texture work. The library supports Clip Studio Paint, Affinity, Procreate, and Photoshop, making it a practical fit for commercial artists working across those four applications. Some free collections are available, while paid sets use one-time pricing.

Pricing is organized around individual brush sets and a larger bundle. The Super Bundle costs €19.99 one-time and includes 572+ tools and 60+ textures. Watercolors costs €6.99 for 80 tools, BrushSet One costs €4.99 for 52 tools, Dry costs €5.99 for 34 tools, Ink costs €7.99 for 86 tools, Joyful Bristle costs €4.99 for 28 tools, and Markers costs €3.99 for 18 tools. The Pencils collection includes 12 tools. This structure suits buyers who want a specific medium as well as those seeking a broader library, with the free plan offering an entry point before purchasing.

The strongest fit is for artists who value natural-media variety, downloadable ownership, and commercial artwork use across the supported apps. The license permits commercial use of created artwork but restricts redistribution or resale of the brush files themselves, so it is intended for creating work rather than repackaging the assets. DAUB Brushes uses the .brush format, and selected collections add textures and papers. Artists working outside Clip Studio Paint, Affinity, Procreate, or Photoshop, or those needing a broader application ecosystem, should consider a library built for their software instead.
